I'm not sure if indexing-feature in ConTeXt allow me to use English, Croatian and Sanskrit diacritics (not Devanagari) all in one document and define that I want e.g. that \'{s}, \d{s} has to be sorted under 'Š' ?

Feature request: \digits command
by Morgan Brassel 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi everyone, The \digits command is really great when it comes to typeset numbers in different languages. However, I miss one functionality from the numprint package in latex: when you type for example $e-5$, you get 10^{-5} (with no dot in front of it). Would it be possible to add an option to \digits to reproduce this? Best wishes, Morgan

Setting expansion depth limit for metapost
by Michal Suszko 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

I'm preparing quite long presentation -- nearly 3000 sides, 900 figures (500 distinct PNG files). I'm using ConTeXt MkIV installed using minimals (2010.03.12 19:49). Recently I'm hitting MetaPost capacity limit on expansion depth: !mplib : mp terminal: ! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [expansion depth=10000]. Increasing expand_depth in texmf.cnf and regenerating formats with context --make doesn't help. expansion depth is still at 10000 in error message. texmf.cnf in texmf-local I've changed is reported by context as first one in log line starting with "mkiv lua stats : used config path" What am I missing?

Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule.

Hello, I'm working on a project to set up exams, basing the work on Aditya's asignment class that was published in Practex in 2006. I have a problem getting title information printed correctly. This is a cut-down version: \setupcolors [state=start] \definecolor [colorone] [r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red \definecolor [colortwo] [b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue \def\exam[#1] {\getrawparameters [Exam] [ title= course=, date=, start=, stop=, #1] \title{\Examtitle}} \definefont [BigFontOne] [RegularSlanted sa 2.5] \definefont [BigFontTwo] [Regular sa 1.5] \setuphead[title] [ style=\BigFontOne, command=\examtitle, before={}, after={\blank[big] \bgroup \colortwo Date: \expanded{\date[Examdate]} \hfill Start: \expanded{Examstart} Stop: \expanded{Examstop} \egroup\blank}, ] %D This macro does the actual typesetting of the title \def\examtitle#1#2% {\framed[ width=broad, frame=off, align=middle, foregroundcolor=colortwo, % I want a shadow around the title frame background=shadow] {#2\\{Examcourse}}} \exam[ title=Mid-term 2010, course=ES2917, date={d=17,m=2,y=2010}, start={9:00 am}, stop={11:00 am} ] I'm processing this with Mark II. The problems are that (1) The literal 'Examcourse' is typeset; (2) Today's date is typset, not the one entered in the interface; (3) The start and stop times are typeset as literals 'Examstart' & 'Examstop' Thanks for any help, Roger %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: context %%% TeX-master: t %%% End:

Bibliography -- complete inline citations in footnotes
by Piotr Lesnicki 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt and I'm greatly appreciating the rejuvenation it brings me in typesetting after several years using LaTeX. I'm confronted to a few little problems though, the main one being that I'd need to have references both in the footnotes and at the end of a document. Under LaTeX I found that the "inlibib" package is doing exactly that, inserting some "ibid" and "op.cit." when required for repeting references. After reading the bibmod-doc, I thought I would temporarly solve the problem by simply using \setuppublications[refcommand=data] which I thought would put the reference in the same format as in the bibliography, but it doesn't compile. Does any one have a solution? Piotr

two buglets
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hi all, working on a book project with index and bibliography, I discovered two small bugs (at least I think they are bugs): 1. index sorts uppercase letters after lowercase letters. Minimal example: \starttext \index{Aardvark}Aardvark \index{azygous}azygous \page \setupregister[index][n=1] \placeregister[index] \stoptext I would expect azygous to follow Aardvark, but it is sorted before. 2. (Maybe not a bug, but a somewhat unfriendly behavior): When a \cite command refers to a non-existent key and sort=bbl, ConTeXt bombs out with a lua error: ! LuaTeX error ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:77: attempt to compare nil with number stack traceback: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:77: in function <...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:76> [C]: in function 'sort' ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:84: in function 'flush' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \typesetpubslist ...hacks.flush("\@@pbsorttype ")} \doendoflist \dodoplacepublications ...sttrue \typesetpubslist \inpublistfalse \endgroup ... l.37 \placepublications[criterium=all] minimal example (the typo \cite[clarke199] instead of \cite[clarke1999a] is there on purpose to demonstrate the problem): \setuppublications[state=start, sorttype=bbl, refcommand=authornum, numbering=yes] \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={VSdK90},totalnumber=2] \startpublication[k=champion2004,t=book, a={{Champion}},y=2004, n=10,s=Cha04] \author[]{Craige~B.}[C.~B.]{}{Champion} \pubyear{2004} \title{Cultural Politics in Polybius's {\em Histories}} \city{Berkeley} \pubname{Univ. of California Pr.} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=clarke1999a,t=book, a={{Clarke}},y=1999b, n=9,s=Cla99b] \author[]{Katherine}[K.]{}{Clarke} \pubyear{1999\maybeyear{b}} \title{Between Geography and History: Hellenistic Constructions of the Roman World} \city{Oxford} \pubname{Oxford UP} \stoppublication \starttext \cite[champion2004] \cite[clarke199] \page \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext Could this error be handled more gracefully, i.e. intercepted?

compound titles, lists and headers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Dear list, my publisher forces me to set different things as titles, in headers and table of contents. In some cases \nolist and \nomarking aren't enough. here are my actual definitions: ---- \def\Untertitel#1{\blank[3pt]{\ss\bf #1}\blank} % ok \def\Titel#1#2{{\nohyphens\chapter{#1}\Untertitel{#2}}} % ok \def\KomplexTitel#1#2#3{{\writetolist[chapter]{#3}\nohyphens\title{#1}\U ntertitel{#2}}} ---- with ---- \start \setupheadertexts[][manual entry][part][] % normally defined as [][chapter][part][] \KomplexTitel{Main chapter title}{chapter subtitle}{toc entry} Much text \stop % of other headertext ---- Real life example: \start \setupheadertexts [][Vorwort][][] \KomplexTitel{Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf}% {Vorwort von Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott}% {Vorwort Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott:\\Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf} ... Now there stay two issues: 1. I'd like to get a four-parameter command that can set the header text also. 2. I must get a line feed into the toc, but neither \\ nor \crlf works. Please help! Thanks.

vim syntax highlighting in MKIV
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi Hans, Mojca, Aditya and List, just tried to use the vim Syntax Highlighting module in ConTeXt MKIV, but if running the documents complains it searches a file called filename-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp sure that file not exists but there is a file called filename-vimsyntax.tmp is there a way to do a workaround so that the vim Syntaxhighlighting module would work in MKIV or does it need to be rewriten completedly?

Palatino Linotype under MKIV
by Paul Schalck 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, I'm trying to use the full glyph range of the Palatino Linotype font shipped with XP (version 1.40; significantly different from the Windows 7 one) under MKIV. Everything works fine (oldstyle figures, sups for instance), except that the small cap "i" character has a dot whereas it shouldn't. Here's a test file. The result, produced on WinXP / ConTeXt beta 2010-06-23, is attached. \definefontfeature[palatinolt-default][script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,trep=yes,tlig=yes,protrusion=quality] \definefontfeature[palatinolt-smcp][script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,trep=yes,tlig=yes,protrusion=quality,smcp=yes,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[palatinolt-sups][mode=node,script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,trep=yes,tlig=yes,protrusion=quality,sups=yes] \starttypescript[serif][palatinolt][name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym[Serif][file:pala.ttf][features=palatinolt-default] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold][file:palab.ttf][features=palatinolt-default] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic][file:palai.ttf][features=palatinolt-default] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][file:palabi.ttf][features=palatinolt-default] \definefontsynonym[SerifCaps][file:pala.ttf][features=palatinolt-smcp] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[palatinolt][rm][serif][palatinolt][default] \setupbodyfont[palatinolt] \enableprotruding\setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext {\sc \input knuth } \stoptext As far as I can see, it has to do with the messy name list of the glyphs. Both the normal small cap i and the small cap dotted i are named "i.sc", but the wrong one is picked when the smcp feature is activated. Moreover, the small cap glyphs have no unicode numbers in this font, so I cannot pick them manually with \char"XXXX or even with \charXXXXX. Any ideas how I can get the right dottless i?
